Surah Al-Ghashiyah, Ayah 17-20

August 28, 2025
أَفَلَا يَنظُرُونَ إِلَى الْإِبِلِ كَيْفَ خُلِقَتْ ۝ وَإِلَى السَّمَاءِ كَيْفَ رُفِعَتْ ۝ وَإِلَى الْجِبَالِ كَيْفَ نُصِبَتْ ۝ وَإِلَى الْأَرْضِ كَيْفَ سُطِحَتْ
Then do they not look at the camels - how they are created? And at the sky - how it is raised? And at the mountains - how they are erected? And at the earth - how it is spread out?
کیا وہ اونٹوں کو نہیں دیکھتے کہ وہ کیسے بنائے گئے؟ اور آسمان کو کہ وہ کیسے بلند کیا گیا؟ اور پہاڑوں کو کہ وہ کیسے کھڑے کیے گئے؟ اور زمین کو کہ وہ کیسے بچھائی گئی؟

Reflection

These verses invite humans to observe and reflect upon four aspects of Allah's creation: camels, the sky, mountains, and the earth. Each represents a different aspect of divine power and wisdom. Camels demonstrate Allah's intricate design in creating animals perfectly suited for their environment. The sky shows the vastness and elevation of Allah's creation. Mountains display stability and strength, while the earth shows how Allah has made it suitable for human habitation. This reflection on creation is meant to lead to recognition of Allah's power, wisdom, and existence. The verses encourage using observation and reason as paths to faith, showing that the natural world provides clear evidence of divine creation and design.

Context

These verses appear in Surah Al-Ghashiyah (The Overwhelming), which discusses the Day of Judgment. They present natural phenomena as evidence of Allah's power to resurrect and judge humanity.
